I’m looking to buy my first guitar. I’ve been browsing a bunch of places and I’m a little worried about buying from Craigslist/OfferUp since I know very little about guitars. So… since I trust you all, i wanted to check if anybody is looking to sell? I’m in SoCal if it matters.

Ah I should have mentioned, I’m looking for an electric. In my (admitted fairly ignorant) search i think I’ve narrowed my interest down to a strat (well, unless someone has randy rhoads’ polka dot V for sale). I’ve got larger hands, so I think that might mean the jaguar isn’t the one for me? Again tho, I’m a total beginner so maybe I misunderstood the differences between them.

Appreciate the tips guys. I think I need to just go to a shop and hold some of these to narrow it down. I’ll report back!

I've had good luck with a couple used guitars from proaudiostar.com, they have a couple 40th Anniversary Squier strats up there. One at $249, another at $299

Funny enough, this post as well as Gin_Rummy's got me interested in the 40th anniversary Squier Strats. Turns out they originally were $500 new, but I found a new one (ion one specific color) on sale at Guitar Center for only $350. Ended up pulling the trigger - only $50 more than used seemed like a good deal. Here we go - first guitar!

this is also good advice.

Thanks for this. I’ve been thinking about it for a bit. I have little kids (1 and 3) so my only real “me” time is post-8pm after the kids are in bed. Because of this I don’t think I can commit to actual human taught lessons until the kids are a little older. So, I was thinking of trying various educational apps/videos that I can do at night. I’ve heard good things about justinguitar, and also plan on trying out Rocksmith (I dropped $20 and bought the 2014 version before it’s being delisted later this month).

Sorry this is veering off thread topic!
